Your favorite picture(s) of an artist playing a Guild?

I was unable to upload the photo to photobucket on my phone, but here is a great video. Jimmy Smith in 1969, featuring Eddie McFadden on his very early (NY?) CE-100. Go to 0:31 for the first visual of Eddie.

Duplicate.

A CE-100 just like this one was recently for sale on ebay.

Go to 07:55 for a good look at the guitar and a good listen to the tone of this single pickup jazz box beauty! Similarities with the guitar on ebay: Visible rivets on the harp tailpiece; Black stove top knobs; No silkscreen on PG; Square (not rounded) inlays on the fretboard; Simple "G" inlay. The tuners look to be different. Eddie McFadden has the F-holes covered with tape to inhibit feedback, so it is hard to tell if they are bound. Same guitar?

Also, I love the sound of Hard Bop organ trios. Thanks for posting!

That's it...thanks, Ralf! I love how he put tape over the soundholes to reduce feedback. I would never do that, but it's pretty cool. I tried to get Doug's Plugs a while ago, but sadly they were no longer making that product as of my last inquiry. I don't really need them at this time, but they would be cool to have just in case.

Could we get a caption on this one? Name of the artist, which model Guild, what kind of gun, etc. :encouragement:

Thanks,
Joe

Saw this on another site. The artist is Bobb Trimble (no never heard of him): http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11634-iron-curtain-innocence-harvest-of-dreams/

Looks like a 70s S100, carved. Don't know about the gun - not my area of expertise.

Found a clip:

Pretty mellow music - I was expecting something much heavier given the photo!

Maybe these images have been posted before but Bobby Womack sure seemed to like his Guild accoustics!

 

[Westerly Wood]

cool how he played his Guild upside down. Amazing.

Upside down truss rod covers are taboo around here, so how do we feel about upside down pickguards? :nightmare:

Womack rates an exemption from punitive action.

Was wondering whether the chap with the tommy-gun was Julian Lennon, though a little too young I guess...the track almost sounds like him as well...er, at least to me...

Does anyone know what Bobby Womack's guitar is in the second picture (and I think the first one as well)?

F-47 in the second picture. The first image is his F-50 but the pick guard is showing more contrast. Perhaps an effect of a lens filter.

A nice epitaph for a very soulful man. Bobby Womack R.I.P.
